King County Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall, when asked what is priority No. 1, she said it is hard to narrow it down, but staffing is a concern for the sheriff’s department.
VIDEO: King County Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall talks challenges department facesKING COUNTY, Wash. — When it comes to keeping King County safe and dealing with issues such as increased crime, King County Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall talked to KIRO 7 about some of the challenges her department is facing.
She said police presence makes a difference and by having those positions filled, there’s more of an officer presence on the street. She said it would take some pressure off of the current officers, as they would not have to work so much overtime, which impacts wellness. “Obviously, our officers are well-trained, de-escalation is No. 1 and key. We want to keep the other people on the bus safe, and the driver as well. So we will respond and we will remove people from buses,” Cole-Tindall said.
